I feel for you. I was glutened August 19--and just starting to feel better now.

Hope you feel better soon. And yes, I would dump the dairy for a while to see if it helps. Best wishes!

Goodness it has taken that long to feel better?! I guess it isn't out of the norm for me to be feeling horrible today then is it! Shoot.

Dumped the dairy...I think I've overdone it the last few days though, I'm struggling! <_<

Everyone rebounds at different rates, hon. My experience may not be the norm. I was unDxed for a long time and have a lot of damage to repair.

I know it is difficult at first. It's an up and down road, unfortunately. Hang in there and drink water and stick to foods that are plain and simple.

I have gone unDxed for a long time as well, which is what I'm blaming for everything right now :) Thanks for the encouragement!! Much needed today!

I learned I can't eat any steak, but I can eat hamberger. I've tried it about 5 times. Everytime I eat the roat or tritip I get sick. But I can eat ground up hamberger. There may be something you can no longer tolerate and it takes time to figure it out. I am still clueless about several things. For me, I try to eat plain everything. I Stick to one kind of bread and eat plain meat, a starch, plain and a vegetable plain. I am ok that way. Simple plain eating is the way to go. Stay away from processed food since you are new to the diet. The frustrating thing is you may still get sick from the gluten-free food because there is something else in there that you can't tolerate, so frustrating. So try those foods on the weekend if you are brave. Hope you are better soon.

      Celiac Test Results - Thoughts?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, there is a trend in the medical community to forego the endoscopy/biopsy and grant an official celiac diagnosis based on high tTG-IGA antibody scores alone. This trend started in the UK and is spreading to the USA medical community. And yes, 5-10x the normal level is what I have been seeing as the threshold as well. Here is the relevant section dealing from the article above dealing with the importance of the total IGA test being ordered. See the embedded attachment.

      Ok, interesting. Not what I was thinking that meant. I'm reading the article and trying to understand. I see this “According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy” My IgG is 90, which is 6 times. So to me that means it's highly likely I do have it.

      It just means you aren't IGA deficient, i.e., that IGA deficiency cannot have given you artificially low scores in the individual IGA celiac antibody tests. This is explained in the article Scott linked above.

      Normal range: 70 - 400 mg/dL, a little above middle of the range. So what does that mean? Thank you! I will check out that page you linked. Appreciate it!

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.
